Gua sha 刮痧 is a traditional healing method using a smooth-edged tool (porcelain spoon or jade blade) to stroke your skin. This motion raises small, red, rash-like dots that are called petechiae. It can reduce inflammation which is commonly seen in chronic pain as well as acute conditions such as respiratory infection with a sore throat.
